Hello, my life has always revolved around children. I worked with my local school district for over 20 years as a Chid Aide. The program was designed to improve a child's self-esteem and improve comfortability in a social setting. This was done through interactive play sessions where a child can truly be themselves. Apart from raising my own three children, I have also worked at a daycare providing a safe and educational environment for up to 12 children. Nutritional cooking is also a big part of my life and something I enjoy sharing. My passion is caring for children in fun, educational, musical, and artistic ways.

“She has a lot of patience and kind during her time with our son, and with Alex's help, my son was able to spend good time playing and sleeping, while we can take a rest from the day-to-day childcare. I would definitely like to invite Alex back to my home if I need another childcare.”

I am an HR Professional with a bachelor’s degree in Business yet part of me wishes I had an educational background to work with children. So babysitting gives me the opportunity to do what I enjoy the most! I was an urbansitter nanny all throughout college in San Francisco as my one and only job for 5 years. I cared for children of all ages, from 3 months - 14 years old. My long term families were for children ages 1-5 and 11-14. In addition to my own work experience, I grew up at home with a family childcare, thus I am comfortable being around up to 8 children at once since my mother is a licensed childcare provider. I currently babysit a 4 year old once a week (Jan 2024 - today) My favorite part about babysitting is teaching children through play. It’s rewarding to see a child grow and see how much they learn along the way. I have a tight schedule but if I am available to babysit on weekends and weekday evenings. I have a car and I am also fluent in Spanish.

“Finding a babysitter you can trust implicitly is rare, and finding someone like Ale is an absolute blessing. Ale has been a vital part of our family’s life since 2023, starting when our daughter was 3 years old. Our daughter absolutely adores her, and as parents, that peace of mind is priceless. Beyond how much our daughter loves her, Ale’s professionalism and work ethic are unmatched. She is always on time and completely reliable. She is warm, wonderfully pleasant, communicative, and has an intuition for what kids need in any given moment. What also sets Ale apart is her skill and heart as we navigate being foster parents. Bringing new children into our home means dynamics can shift quickly, but we can always trust Ale. No matter what combination of personalities, emotions, or needs exist on a given day, Ale handles every situation with exceptional skill, patience, and warmth. If you have the chance to hire Ale, do not hesitate for a second. She is a true gem, and any family would be beyond lucky to have her!”
